Pleased to share details of a new book I have recently contributed to on the Future of the Centre. My chapter relates to the importance of image and vision in developing city centre strategies. Worth a read!@LichfieldsUK routledge.com/The-Future-of-…
RIP Mike Peters 1959-2025
First saw @thealarm at @O2CityHall in Newcastle on 5 February 1988 - a fantastic gig which I will never forget. While the line ups changed over the years, Mike was the constant - a brilliant front man with amazing energy. Rest in Peace.
Another fabulous night in #Newcastle with the good good people @embrace - brilliant timeless music and a great, uplifting atmosphere. Same time same place next year?
Delighted to offer my thoughts to @guardian on why so many former Debenhams stores remain vacant. Worth adding that, in many cases, proposals are now emerging (eg in Newcastle) and hopefully the re-occupation of those stores can start to breathe new life into town & city centres

If you work in #towncentres, well worth looking at our new @LichfieldsUK toolkit Revitalise, which was launched earlier today:

Please get in touch if you’d like to discuss.
Town centre regeneration has moved up the Government’s agenda in recent years, with major funding opportunities.
Launched @theIED, Revitalise provides a flexible toolkit which has been successfully applied to transform town centres across the country.

Thanks @JackkStevo and great to see you today. Enjoyed being part of the Panel discussion and lots to be positive about in the North East as we look to the future - not least through the devolution deal.
Great to hear from an excellent panel of speakers with the brilliant @KiMcGuinness setting out their positive vision for the North East and how we can make the most of our devolution deal #Lab23
What a great night at the wonderful @FireStationSun in #Sunderland with @houghtonarea and @dennisband - a fab solo by my daughter, Laura - and an amazing finale! Bravo! 👏👏👏
Fantastic news and well done to everyone involved! 👏👏👏@RTPINorthEast @DurhamCouncil @cgsmith7 @weare_livin @hardwickhomes @LichfieldsUK

Delighted to see the #Hamminkeln Place scheme in #Sedgefield shortlisted for an @RTPINorthEast Award for Planning Excellence. As a local resident it has made a v positive contribution to Sedgefield both by diversifying the local housing mix and redeveloping an under-utilised site

Viability: the key to deliverability
Aside from the question of how many new homes we need and where they should go, there is another central issue at the heart of any discussion regarding the delivery of new housing: viability.

Delighted to show the @RTPINorthEast Judging Panel around the new #Hamminkeln Place scheme in #Sedgefield this morning and nice to have worked on a project so close to home. Hope the weather warms up for the rest of your site visits!

Very sad to hear that @SideGallery is to close. I have visited many times over the last 25 years or so and every visit has been memorable. A small gallery whose cultural significance is huge, because of the work it showcases. Hope that it can be saved… #Newcastle
ALT As of 9th April 2023, Side Gallery will close to the public due to critical funding cuts and the cost of living crisis. For over 45 years, Side has been a dedicated home to documentary film and photography. Side's mission is to be an agent for change through the commission, exhibition, and preservation of world-class visual stories that highlight social concerns and celebrate diverse lives & landscapes across the North East, UK, and the globe. #SaveSide
